Liquid database partnership

Liquid Computing announced last week that it has been working since January with Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Computer Science in Nova Scotia to advance the state of the art in parallel processing for very large databases:

…“We chose to partner with Liquid Computing on this project because it offers an opportunity to work with a unique next-generation computer architecture that offers new paths to improve the performance of data warehousing algorithms,” said Andrew Rau-Chaplin, Parallel Data Mining and OLAP Project Lead and Professor of Computer Science at Dalhousie. …”We are seeing incredible performance from the LiquidIQ™ system and initial results indicate a 2 to 3 time’s improvement in performance metrics.”

Industry Perspectives

In this special guest post, Axel Huebl looks at the TOP500 and HPCG with an eye on power efficiency trends to watch on the road to Exascale. "This post will focus one efficiency, in terms of performance per Watt, simply because system power envelope is a major constrain for upcoming Exascale systems. With the great numbers from TOP500, we try to extend theoretical estimates from theoretical Flop/Ws of individual compute hardware to system scale." [Read More...]
